This proposal introduces a concept in which the value of social intercourse in a project of this nature is given paramount importance. Since the first round, the project went through a process that clarified a lot of its ambiguities. More than the others, it kept its emphasis on a balance between private and collective aspects. While maintaining a quiet and modest presence, 18 steps is a very precise and beautiful project, with a highly conceptual idea about life in a community of 18 students and on account this and to its suitability to this site, the jury decided to award it the competition prize.
